Join Our Writer’s Lounge Summer Series!
This summer, we’re bringing the community together with 7 live sessions designed to fuel your creativity and build momentum for Author Nation.
You’ll hear directly from the teams at BookFunnel, Reedsy, Draft2Digital, PublishDrive, Vinci Books, BookBub and ProWritingAid with one session each, covering everything from writing sprints to hands-on publishing workshops.
Every session is different, but all are focused on connection, insight, and inspiration.
For every session you attend, you’ll earn one entry into our Summer Raffle for a chance to win an all-expenses-paid trip to Author Nation 2026!
That includes your ticket, a 6-night hotel stay, and a travel stipend. The more sessions you attend, the better your odds!
